What we do.

• Develop parent education and skills training programs.

• Directly observe child and family social interactions in home, school, and community settings.

• Develop and improve child and family assessment techniques.

• Identify family and peer group social interaction patterns and other factors related to the development of aggressive behavior and delinquency.

• Design and implement multi modal interventions for children and parents to help encourage successful adjustment and discourage aggressive behaviors within the family, the school, and the community.

• Examine social and biological variables simultaneously in studies of family interaction and child development.

• Move interventions for families from the laboratory and into community systems, such as juvenile justice, child welfare, and corrections.

• Work with communities as a partner.

• Apply advanced statistical methodology to the analysis of longitudinal data on child and family processes and outcomes. .

As many of you know, John was a devoted mentor and supporter of early career scientists. In collaboration with his family, we have established ‘The John B. Reid Early Career Award’. Funds from this award will go to support the development of OSLC-based early career scientists by providing a small individual stipend, or support funding for a small pilot study led by an early career scientist.

If you wish to make a donation, you may do so through OSLC Developments, Inc (ODI), a non-profit 501c3 organization. Please indicate ‘The John B. Reid Early Career Award’ in the memo line. Contributions are tax deductible and can be mailed to:
